Elixirs and Drinks
CANNABIS ELIXIR
INGREDIENTS
Cannabis Tincture
Honey
4-6 Vitamin E Capsules
INSTRUCTIONS
Place the tincture in a double boiler over an electric heat source. Reduce
the solution by half. Once reduce, add 1/2 the remaining volume of
tincture in honey along with the vitamin E capsules (e.g. If you have 2
quarts of tincture after reduction, you would add 1 quart honey).
Continue to reduce the volume with constant stirring until you have
nearly boiled it down to the original volume of syrup you began with. Let
cool, and store in a lightproof glass in the refrigerator.
NOTES
The dosage should be between a teaspoon and a couple tablespoons.
You can customize your elixirs by adding different herbs, like adding
syrup of Elderberry makes an effective treatment for influenza; or
adding Kava can provide greater pain control and sedation. With a little
study in herbal medicine, you can customize your blends for any
ailment. For the flu, use cannabis tincture with Elderberry and Cat’s Claw.

MAGIC TINCTURE
INGREDIENTS
2-3 tablespoons Honey
1/2 ounce Cannabis
3 ounces Vodka
1 teaspoon Ginger, Grated
1 teaspoon Orange Zest
INSTRUCTIONS
In a small saucepan, heat honey over low heat. Do not let the honey
foam over! Mix in the powdered Cannabis, and while stirring slowly add
the Vodka so the texture stays in a liquid form, not a solid sticky mass.
Continue to cook over low heat for 30 minutes. Pour into a jar and
cover, let sit in the refrigerator until cool.
NOTES
Take a teaspoon every 15 minutes until you figure out a “dose” that is
good for you.

HOT BUTTERED BHANG
INGREDIENTS
1/8 pound Butter
1/2 ounce Cannabis
8 ounces Vodka
1 tablespoon Honey
INSTRUCTIONS
In a medium saucepan, melt 1/8 pound of butter over medium heat.
Add the cannabis, which should be ground up into a fine powder. Add
the Vodka and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring the entire time. Once
boiling, reduce to medium-low heat and let sit for 10-30 minutes, or
overnight. Strain the mixture and let cool to room temperature. Add
honey to taste, and pour into a glass.
NOTES
You could always use a 1/4 ounce of cannabis if you are not up to the
intense trip of a half ounce. Substitute Vodka with Everclear for a
stronger kick.

BHANG LASSI
INGREDIENTS
1/2 ounce Cannabis
1 cup Water
2 cups Whole Milk, Warm
Pinch of Garam Masala
1 tablespoon Coconut Milk
1 tablespoon Almonds, Chopped
1/8 teaspoon Powdered Ginger
1/2 cup Sugar
1/2 teaspoon Sugar Water and Grenadine
INSTRUCTIONS
Boil water in teapot and add the cannabis. Brew for 7-10 minutes, then
strain. Squeeze any remaining liquids out of leftover cannabis. Save
cannabis for later, in separate bowl. Grind the bud and 2 tablespoons of
milk together, slowly. Do this about 4 times. Stick the milk in a bowl,
and take the cannabis out. Add the cannabis and a bit more milk and
grind it some more, adding the almonds. Squeeze the bud and repeat
several times. Discard the remaining cannabis, and add all the liquids
together (milk, coconut milk, sugar water, and water from the tea).
Then add the spices, stir.
NOTES
Use an old teapot unless you want your house to smell like cannabis
every time you want coffee. It will also smell a lot when you are brewing.
This is a drink that the novice user should definitely avoid, especially if
you don’t like the effects from eating cannabis.

POT HOT CHOCOLATE
INGREDIENTS
1 cup Whole Milk
1 cup Light Cream
4 grams Cannabis
5 ounces Unsweetened Chocolate
1/2 teaspoon Vanilla
5 tablespoons Sugar
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Cinnamon
INSTRUCTIONS
Combine the milk, sugar, and salt in a saucepan on medium heat.
Once the salt and sugar has dissolved, add the light cream, cinnamon,
vanilla, and finely chopped cannabis. Heat to just under boiling, and
add the chocolate. Turn the heat off, and stir until the chocolate has
melted. Serve in a mug, and top with whipped cream and orange zest,
or stick to the classical miniature marshmallows.
NOTES
For every 8 ounces of milk, whole milk contains 8 grams of fat, 2% milk
contains 5 grams of fat, 1% contains 2.5 grams of fat, and skim milk
contains no fat. Do not confuse hot cocoa and hot chocolate. While hot
cocoa is made from cocoa powder, it lacks the fat of cocoa butter; hot
chocolate, however, is made from chocolate bars melted into cream.
Unsweetened chocolate is also called baking or bitter chocolate, you
could substitute with semi-sweet chocolate, but leave the vanilla out if
you do.
